[Opinions] Theadore or Timothea
I have this character I can decide what her full name should be. Ultimatly her name will be Thea but I don't know if I either Theadore or Timothea for her full name.She would be born around the late 90s and lives in a small Kansas town. Her little brother name is Xaiver and their last name is Campbell. Her parents are workaholics, who moved from a big city to a small town. Thea has a obsession with superheros and is an in the closet fangirl over a (made up) popular TV show. Her best friends is Ellie, who full name is EllaNora, so if I chose Theadore thier full names will clash. So what do you think is the best choose?

TimotheaI think Theadore is really weird. First of all, it's made-up and secondly it's way too close to "Theodore".Timothea is ok with me. None of my favorites, but it is a real name and sounds feminine.

TheodorA is ok... maybe Timothea... I think Theodora would be better w/ the surname...

Can'tBut her friend's full name is EllaNora so if I chose that thier full names would rhyme.

that could be part of the humour in the story

I'd use Timothea because a) she just sounds (reads) more like a Timothea, b) I prefer Timothea over Theadore, c) Theadore is too close to Theodore for my liking and d) as you said EllaNora and Theadore clash.

Hmm. I'd prefer Theadora. Theadore seems too much like Theodore to me. I like Timothea but I'd prefer Thea to be in the first part of the name. Although Timothea goes better with Xavier... so maybe Timothea is better.
